Blue J Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 This is only a partial clip of the sketch, but anyway...who remembers this? Let's get rid of Clarence and steal all his good ideas! Poor Clarence...he only needed about $7200...

The Cat 3 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 What do you do when you finish a Beatles marathon and still want more? Yeah, that's right, start with the solo works. First up...George Harrison! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's hit and miss and very inconsistent. But I will tell you this, I recently "rediscovered" Dark Horse and Extra Texture. There are some gems to be found. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Everybody's born knowing all the Beatles lyrics instinctively. They're passed into the fetus subconsciously along with all the amniotic stuff. Fact, they should be called "The Fetals".

The Cat 3 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 "All there is, ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one."

All Things Must Pass2. His set from The Concert for Bangladesh3. All Things Must Pass4. His set from The Concert for Bangladesh5. All Things Must Pass6. His set from The Concert for Bangladesh... (You get the idea)... ...because that's all I have. :(  I will take note of more updates in this thread, to learn what else is worth hearing (I know, I know- all of it. Right?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I like by John, I really like and of course, the opposite is true. Just got the deluxe Paul McCartney "Tug of War" and "Pipes of Peace" boxsets today...can't wait until the next Beatle (alphabetically). Good timing as I'm seeing Paul in less than two weeks, so I will be "properly" prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I have been cleaning vinyl lately. A Hard Days Night, I Want To Hold Your Hand, Eight Days a Week, Strawberry Fields Forever, Day Tripper (to name a few) sound great on 45s. There is something really special about hearing The Beatles' I Feel Fine on a 45 playing on an old record player. Both media and material really stand the test of time. Some of these 45s are 50 years old! 50! That used to be ancient! :o Now, not so much. :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Off to a great start with Ringo's first solo album, "Sentimental Journey", an album of standards. Great album that I haven't heard in forever. It's so good I'm listening to it for the second time today. Who knew Ringo's has 18 solo albums! The newest, "Postcards From Paradise", is just fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just winding up "Ringo", which, in my opinion, could be the last Beatles record. George, John & Paul all play on it and wrote songs for the album. Might just be my favourite solo album by a Beatle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, Ringo is very hit and miss until he hooked up wth Mark Hudson, of all people! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
